Unfortunately, Putin’s got a fan club on FreeRepublic. It’s a fact. They’re quite persistent, devoted, churlish, and irrational. In short, they’re the perfect boob bait for Putin’s ideology. Lord Acton said, “Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” These dolts believe Putin is the exception, his time in the KGB was no different than being in the Boy Scouts, and real conservatives, these putinistas think, don’t appreciate the rule of law as much as the rule of a putative opportunistic “Christian,” like Putin.
